Ghanchakkar (2013)
A pretty fine effort
i saw ghanchakkar today.and,i must tell you that the movie is much diff from that you could have imagined after watching the trailer.it's basically a dark comedy.maybe,on the lines of Tarantino movies.the movie almost proves that some Indian directors of today have guts to make serious-realistic-methodical type movies with notable actors.of course,it must be difficult for the makers as because still there is not a decent market for such movies.we know movies like gangs of wasseypur,shanghai,kaminey etc have not been commercially very successful although they deserved to.so,one cannot blame filmmakers any more for making 1 dimensional mainstream typical commercial flicks because there seems to be a market for such movies forever.even i love watching decent commercial flicks like ashiqui 2 etc.so it depends on the viewers how they perceive movies like ghanchakkar.if it's a decent hit,it will be a big boost for directors who wanna make unorthodox-contemporary indie flicks.
Green Lantern (2011)
not so convincing......
a budget of 200 mil.for some,enough said.let us accept that no one imagined RR in the lead role of the green lantern.the problem with the movie though is something else.i feel it took a lot of time to really tell the viewers about what it wanted to project.maybe,just maybe, a keanu reeves in the lead role may have brought the color and attitude to the character.Blake lively as the smart yet subtle girl was definitely not best cast.PETER was brilliant but then it was expected.i feel the screenplay was above decent but the problem was the awkward direction which has not been seen in superhero movies often.there was something wrong with the pace too.coming out in year which also released excellently made X MEN FIRST CLASS AND CAPTAIN America,GREEN LANTERN lags way behind.again,i say,better casting could have made a huge difference.
